It’s always an honor to photograph the wedding of another photographer, and I believe this is our third of five weddings for photographers that we’re doing this year. Not only is it an honor to be chosen by a photographer, but it’s also super exciting and a bit nerve racking… exciting because they want us to push the limits all the way through, nerve racking cause we’re trying to push the limits while still getting our normal solid shots.

Either way, nerve racking or not, we LOVE it, and Jeff and Cindy gave us plenty of time to play around and create some great images for them.

Here’s a few to wet your appetite for their slideshow.

Senior portrait season in Santa Barbara is officially here for 2010 seniors! Julia was one of the first to get hers taken care of and we had a ton of fun together. We started at her home and finished at Haskell’s beach near the Bacara Resort. Check out her stunning pictures below.

A couple things for upcoming seniors to know:

1. Our summer senior portrait sessions are 50% off! Book now to take advantage of this offer while it lasts. Visit our portrait site to see more samples of our work and to contact us.

2. There are still a few spots open for select schools in Santa Barbara, Goleta and Carpinteria to be a Senior Portrait Rep. Contact us for more details and to apply.

Thanks for the awesome session Julia! You’re a gorgeous girl, I can’t wait to show you the rest of your pictures.

It was an honor to be asked to photograph Trevor and Bethany’s wedding at the exclusive Bella Vista Estate in Montecito. We have been friends with Trevor’s mom for a number of years and getting to know both Trevor and Bethany was a blessing. They are an incredibly sweet couple and they are always making each other smile.

It’s been probably 5 years or so since I bought my current set of eye re-focusing devices… (yeah, eye-glasses)

Needless to say, I may be falling out of style faster than anticipated and it’s time to shop for something new.

It’s kind of scary to buy new eye glasses because it changes my “look.” When I got to photographer conferences and such people tend to recognize me really quickly because of my hair and glasses, so purchasing new glasses is like giving up a part of me.

But, I’m always game for change! So, here are hopefully some of the last photos of me with my old glasses sitting here on State Street in my downtown Santa Barbara office:

Next up, a new hair style??!!!!! Maybe…

When it came time to re-do our business cards (it’s been time for a while!) there was only one place we considered – Sugar Plum Invitations. Becky is simply the SWEETEST girl you will ever meet and has the mad skills on a letterpress machine (is that what you call them???)

We’d known for a while we wanted to do letterpress business cards and we finally pulled the plug and went for it and couldn’t have been more stoked on the results! Our name and logo sunk beautifully into some super duper thick 220# white cotton paper stock, sooooo awesome!!!

Check out these beauties:

Definitely hit up Becky if you want some sweet cards and she’ll make sure you get nothing but the best!
